Wolverine gets an extra few weeks of life.

Shipping delays are a common occurrence when it comes to event comics. And unfortunately, Death of Wolverine is proving no exception. This four-issue mini-series was originally scheduled to ship weekly throughout the month of September. But now it appears the latter two issues have been delayed until October.

Currently, Death of Wolverine #3 is listed for release on October 1st, two weeks after its originally solicited date. Death of Wolverine #4 has also been pushed back two weeks to October 8th.

Naturally, these delays will also have an impact on the various post-Death of Wolverine projects Marvel had announced for October. Death of Wolverine: The Logan Legacy #1 will now be released on October 15th. The Logan Legacy #2 will follow on October 22nd, while The Logan Legacy #3 and the Death of Wolverine: Captain America & Deadpool one-shot will be released on October 29th.

Marvel hasn't announced a reason for these scheduling changes, though it wouldn't be the first time a Steve McNiven-illustrated Wolverine project has experienced delays. But with McNiven's art being heavily praised in our previous reviews (check out issue #1's review here and issue #2 here), we're willing to put up with an extra few weeks of waiting. Hopefully the series won't experience further delays.
